well tomorow is offical arin's brain is gonna go ka-splat day. arin has to take that stupid SAT

just wondering if anyone else is taking/going to take/has taken it

whats it like, i've never taken it before

 

The new SAT? nope, havent take it. I heard they were going to take out those lame "Shelby is to Cobra, as Shinoda is to....." questions

I took the old SAT. I did o.k. I got a 1100

 

darn! i coulda aced those one! :P

 

One of my friends just got through taking it.I'll call her and ask her how it was.

 

on a weekend?

 

yes sir she has her cell phone turned off,but she has taken it before and said it wasnt so bad except for the fact that it takes so long to take.

 

mark- is this her first time with the NEW SAT? just wondering. cuz this is also my first time taking it in general.

dude, the SAT is ALWAYS on a weekend.

just got back. and im like hey! this thing is supposed to be hard! wtf?

maybe i got everything wrong, or maybe my tutor actually helped :shock: im hoping for the latter.

i honestly thought this would be waaaaay harder. and the 4.5 hours almost went by quick for me too... gasp..... maybe im a supergenious! of course, I already knew that. now the whole world must bow down to me! MUAHAHAHAHA.

oh wait. i should probably wait for those...umm...whats is called....scores, yeah thats right, scores :P

and why couldnt they give the test at my school? i almost gotted lost at san mateo hihg. the only person i knew was this one girl who ive known since like 3rd grade, and we werent even in the same class!! that was the only part i think stinked, not knowing any one to goof off with during the breaks lol. oh wait, waking up so darn early stinked too....

overall, i almost enjoyed it

 

This was like her 3rd time and last time she got a score of 27 out of a possible 36 and she needs at leat a 28 to get into the college she wants to.She hated it but she thinks she did good.Last time she said that she thought that she had gotten a 29 but got a 27 so its harder than it seems.

 

Good luck Arin.
But isn't little too early for these kinds of tests? I only took ACT test and that was during my senior year in high school. I only needed 18 to get into college so I didn't even try to hard.

 

I dont think its too early the more you take the test the better chance you have of getting a higher score.I also think that she is trying to get a full scholorship.I know thats what im gonna do next year.But I dont think I will be able to get a 28.I think I forgot to mention that she is top 15 in her class.

 

I only got 19 on ACT test (college requirement was 18). It was 2 year college and I'm graduating from that college next week. I even made honor roll. It was pretty cheap (about $70 per credit) so I didn't even bother looking for scholarship.
But for the next 2 years, I will be attending one of best colleges in Wisconsin. It cost around $24,000/year and I got $19,000/year in scholarships.
So I went from score 19 on ACT test to $19,000/year scholarship. In my education, ACT test didn't play big part at all. What did play big part is that I have 3.82 GPA (one darn B+ in Cisco 1) and I made honor roll.

 

Zoran- the only reason i took it so early is cuz...well... why not? i cant take it as many times as i want. its proven that i will get better each time. and besides i wanted to see if i could ace it sophomore year and luagh at all my buddies when they're taking it Jr and Sr year and stressing out, while i relax lol

it was kinda fun, in a boring and despicable, but not exactly hard kind of way

 

I dont think I had a choice of taking it my sophomore year(this year),but if I did I would have taken it in a heartbeat.

 

Mark- Did they change the SAT scores? When I took it four years ago, it was out of an 1800 point scale?

Arin- Good to hear it was easy for ya. you might just come out on the daily news with your perfect score :P

 

sound like that sux more than the high school entrance exam... same time but it had the hardest vocab

 

I suppose I've always heard of it being on a 36 point scale.

 

hmm... interesting.
Actually, i cant remember if it was an 1800 or 1600 scale

 

i thought it was an 1800 point scale too :scratch:

 

1600. It changed now though, they added an essay portion to it and an extra 800 points. So now its out of 2400. The one thats out of 36ish is the ACT. My 1200 from 3 yrs ago makes me sound half stupid now that its out of 2400 :mellow:

 

24 is my lucky number..... you never know....lol

pete, whats this entrance exam? i dont remember taking one. i know teres an exit exam (what a waste of my time! easiest test of my life!) but since when has there been an entrance exam? maybe i just lost that memory in football but i dunno....
